A 29-YEAR-old woman was gang raped by six gunmen in Soweto on Thursday night after she was kidnapped and robbed, police reported on Friday.
Superintendent Richard Luvhengo said the men kidnapped the woman at 3am while she was walking home with a male friend.
The gang threatened them with firearms, but her friend managed to flee to her house and told the woman’s aunt. When the aunt came out to assist her, the man threatened her as well.
The men then blindfolded the younger woman and drove off with her. One of the gangsters raped her in the back seat of the car. The men then stopped the vehicle, robbed her of her jewellery valued at R4 300, gang raped her and left her naked.
She crawled to the nearest house for help, where she was taken to Diepkloof police station, Luvhengo said. – Sapa
